Yes, officer, I saw her! She was 5’4″ with brown hair. Her eyes, hazel. She seemed to be a self-employed, 43 year old, and she had 2 young daughters. Oh, she must be married.

One Confession:
1. I unsubscribed from your blog because after a month of reading yours, I realized you weren’t reading mine.
Please feel free to tag yourself! Let me know when it’s up & running!
I was tagged by the lovely & talented Deanna Banana to list Ten Little Known Facts about myself. Let’s get started.
1. I don’t shave my thighs. Ankles to my knees, the hair will occasionally be shaved. I don’t know what age I hit when I decided I no longer needed to shave my thighs, but I obviously hit it.
Celine Dion doesn’t shave her thighs either.
2. Tom calls me Indoor Mom, because I’m not very outdoorsy. I call him Outdoor Dad.
…would be a shitty job.
3. I’m in charge of feeding our cats.
Our cat, George, is 18 years old.
4. If I had a dime for every time Tom said he wanted to shave George, I’d have an extra $36.50 annually.
I have 20 cents from the times we have actually shaved the cat.
5. I once yelled *F_CK YOU!* repeatedly from the balcony as our guests drove off into the sunset.
They were out of earshot, but I waved & smiled just in case.
6. I used to have a cooking website.
7. I have never picked my own vehicle.
Still had to make the car payments though.
8. When I was little, I loved Irish Setters! I’d see one and say, There’s my dog!
Who’s that crazy lady? Do I know her?
9. I’ve really only owned 1 dog. A chihuahua!
Far cry from an Irish Setter.
10. Right now, I’m craving powdered sugar thanks to Foodie1!
No Bake Gingersnap Cookies
I’m not tagging anyone, but please let me know if you tag yourself!
We Have Leaves!!!
What am I screaming about?
Well, about a month ago, I begged and pleaded for ideas to make over our bedroom. I was going to thank everyone individually, but there were so many of you that had awesome ideas and encouraged me to believe in myself! Thank you all!
Here is the *Before* picture:
I’m not done redecorating yet, but so far I’ve covered the quilt with a red duvet, bought spare pillows for the decorative shams, replaced the curtains with colorblock panels, painted the closet wall a darker color, and replaced the nightstand with a plant.
Detailing the leaves gave us a bit of trouble! My attempt was too thick.
Tom’s attempt was better, but shaky.
With Tom’s direction, I painted wispy veins. The leaves really came to life when our employee, Brenda, swooshed on low-lights with a complimentary shade of brown!
I was so excited when we finished today, I couldn’t wait to show you!
Thanks again for all of your help!
Thanks for reading!
